This location is shown only to members

'We are 20 Minutes from Glasgow City Centre and 10 Minutes from Glasgow Airport'.

Antique Furniture, tables, chairs, desks etc. Antique glass, dolls, toys, porcelain, silver, paintings, Long Case clocks, & garden antiques - we have a vast selection to choose from. You must stroll through this house to get the wonderful atmosphere of it all.There are 11 rooms and stores in total, covering a large part of this former farm, laid out in the traditional square and courtyard fashion

Perhaps we can arrange nearer the time how to meet up and maybe offer lifts to those who need one, thanks.

I used to visit Gardners with my parents a lot when we lived in Paisley - we loved it! Mrs Gardner & her sons were great friends - I don't imagine that Mrs G, would be around any more..... nothing like looking at antiques etc., in an old house & outbuildings, it was very quirky. I would be happy to take passengers in my car if anyone was interested. Tue., 22nd/ Wed., 23rd or Tues., 29th/ Wed., 30th are all available at the moment - after 12 noon. Weekends are so busy on the roads - I'm not keen. What are your thoughts Michael?

Thank you, Rosemary, for signing up and offering lifts. It's still some time away and we can see how it turns out. Perhaps a Sunday, the roads might be a little quieter. I was quite keen to offer a weekend visit to allow those who work during the weekdays a chance to take part in something. It might be possible to do both: weekday or weekends.

Ooops! I didn't click on the link above, therefore did not realise you had provided specific dates next year! My fault Michael - I just scanned the invitation too quickly without checking the detail! Look forward to it anyway.

We're about:

The purpose of this group is to try and bring people together who have an interest in the arts, particularly of classical vocal music, opera and the visual arts. I hope to embrace all art forms if/when events are in Glasgow. Or occasionally in Edinburgh.

To have someone to go with to attend classical concerts, opera, art galleries, exhibitions and to do some practical art.

There will be a social opportunities at every event. In addition, I hope to visit coffee houses and restaurants in between events for a catch up. I am looking for friendly and welcoming members that are able to communicate very well with other members, and treat them with respect.

Knowledge of the arts is certainly not a prerequisite, but an appreciation of beautiful things, in sight and sound is desirable, so we can meet like minded people and speak a similar language.

I would like to base this group on art and classical vocal music, and anything that keeps one's mind stimulated. The main focus of my attention in creating meet ups will centre around opera houses, art galleries, music rooms, live opera cinema screenings, Lieder concerts, the classics in theatre, and stately homes.
